| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
A colorless to pale-yellow colored liquid with a pungent odor. Insoluble in water. Slightly denser than water. Flash point 165°F. Contact may irritate skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion. Used to make other chemicals. | [Reactivity Profile]
O-METHYLBENZYL CHLORIDE is rapidly decomposed when heated in the presence of iron. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Because of its insolubility O-METHYLBENZYL CHLORIDE(552-45-4) doesn't react vigorously with water, although O-METHYLBENZYL CHLORIDE(552-45-4) does generate annoying levels of hydrogen chloride fumes. | [Health Hazard]
Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. | [Chemical Properties]
Colorless to light yellow liqui | [Uses]
o-Chloromethyltoluene is a building block that has been used in the preparation of fenarimol analogs showing curative activity in an experimental model of Chagas disease. | [Flammability and Explosibility]
Notclassified | [Toxics Screening Level]
The initial threshold screening level (ITSL) for alpha-chloro-ortho-xylene is 0.1 μg/m3 based on an annual averaging time. |
